Teacher

Thibaut grew up in Lille, the biggest city in northern France, and his love of travel led him across Europe, Canada and Mexico. In addition to that, he is a sound engineer and guitar player. Thibaut joined the Coucou team in 2021. His taste in music is, according to him, pretty extreme - so if you are a fan of French AND heavy metal, he's your guy. Thibaut is also very handy and can repair just about anything!
